IT Architecture in Three Steps

IT Strategy

HOPEX IT Architecture ensures alignment with the business roadmap, while planning and prioritizing IT transformation projects. The IT Strategy feature provides IT Strategists with these functionalities:

Assess the IT landscape and application functional scope using business capability maps. Identify critical IT assets for the business.

Understand application functional coverage based on capabilities, business functions or logical applications

Build the IT roadmap including transformation stages and objectives, and plan required IT assets

Build IT projects to support the planned IT assets and prioritize them based on various criteria

Create ideation campaigns or let users submit their ideas.

Convert Ideas to IT projects.

Application Architecture

With HOPEX IT Architecture, architects describe the application landscape using flows and software components. Software components can be of type application systems, applications, IT services, and micro-services. The solution supports the use of services that are described through service catalogs, while the defined services are implemented by physical architecture items. The solution provides four types of diagrams: at an enterprise level, architects can use environment diagrams to represent main exchanges only. At an application level, they can describe applications with scenario diagrams or structure diagrams. At a technical level, they can use technical architecture diagrams to describe application deployments.

Environment Diagrams

Only represent main exchanges between applications

Place the application in its environment without considering its internal architecture

Scenario Diagrams

Use scenario diagrams for quick and easy representation

Depict the same application in multiple contexts or scenarios

Structure Diagrams

Model architecture through a service approach.

Use exchange contracts to describe services provided by applications

Application Technical Architecture

Show deployment architecture required for the physical installation of applications

Describe technologies and communication protocols needed to run an application

Technical Architecture

Technology architects need to understand the technical infrastructure requirements when deploying new applications. They also need to depict the current technical architecture landscape and plan the evolution of infrastructure. With these features, technology architects can describe a collection of hardware and other equipment to run applications such as servers, workstations, IOT devices, as well as networks and exchange protocols.

Make the inventory of infrastructure and software components hosted by infrastructure

Describe infrastructure using up-to-date technologies including cloud, virtualization, and internet of things
